63 

ness in attendance, immoral conduct, or a neglect on

for suspension. 

54. Absence for four days in any one month, unless

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDS. 



The money known as the School Fund of this city, 
arises from three sources, viz : 

1st. An investment, now accumulated by investment 
of accrued interest to $50,540 in Corporation six per 
cent, stock. 

2d. A tax of one dollar upon every free white male 
citizen, of the age of 21 years and upwards ; the pro- 
ceeds of which are by the 3d Section, of the Act of 
May 22, 1848, tl set apart and pledged for the establish- 
ment of Public Schools in this city, and for no other 
purpose." 

3d. The general assessment of lo cents on every $100, 
of all real and personal property, stocks, bonds, &c, in 
this city, the proceeds of which, in the language of the 
Annual Tax Act, " shall be set apart and used for the 
support of the Public Schools of this city, and for no 
other purpose.'"' 

The accrued interest on the invested fund, is trans- 
ferred quarterly by the Register, to the credit of the 
school fund. 

The per-capita tax, as well as that arising from as- 
sessment, is collected by the the Collectoi, and by him 
from time to time deposited, separating from all other 
funds and depositing to its credit the portion accruing 
to the School fund. 

This money is drawn from time to time, by the Trea- 
surer of the Board of Trustees, by written requisition, 
approved by the Mayor, on which the warrant of the 
Register is drawn.
